nobody sleeps tonight

BIG UPS TO EVERYONE WHO SENT IN PICS FOR THE ARTWORK!

A lot of incredible and horrifying things happen every day all around the world. So much change, catastrophe, epiphany, joy...and despite the lull of the daily trudge, people do feel it. We dream of it, daydream about it or just stay up at night, wondering why we can't get to sleep. Maybe we get depressed and don't know why, maybe we misplace our frustrations...Something's wrong. Conversely, something electric is in the air. Excitement, wonder, nervous energy. There is opportunity; indeed, there is also despair. What will I focus on? how will I channel my feelings around it? How can I face tomorrow? How the hell am I going to get to sleep?

The latest from my collaboration with Dameun Strange, as Strange Perspective, doesn't necessarily answer these questions, but swims in them, as we often do when disaster strikes or we feel the rift of some unknown revelation uncoil beneath the surface. This is electronic, bass heavy, jungle style hip hop. It's hard and kinetic. It's also smooth, melodic and catchy. The concept lives in every snare, high hat, rhythm and cadence. It's frenetic and courses the listeners ears for answers, hope, a little peace and finds the people who give a damn.
ps- the artwork features photos from face book friends who sent in pictures of themselves not being able to sleep, and because of this, are immortalized. :)

pps- the art kinda looks like a curled up catepillar doesn't it?
